TOILET SEAT AND METHOD OF MAKQJG SAME.

Application filed March 6, 1925.

(iur invention relates to improvements in toilet seats and method ot making same.

The object oi our invention is to provide en improved toi et seat and method ot malrthe seme, liereby it is made up ot two ections and firmly secured together so that he securing means are wholly out of sight, and the joint between the two sections made perfect that it has the appearance oi:l a one piece seat, and thus produce a scat in which there is no visible ronnecting means between the two secti Another object oi our invention is to pro- -vide a simple, cheap and etiective toilet l und method of melting the same, whereby considerable time, labor and expense is saved in the manufacture thereof.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a top pien view ot' my improved seat constructed and assembled under the improved method.

Figure 2 is an enlarged plan view or" one end of the two sections showing` the first step of the method ot assembling the seat.

Figure 3 is a top plan view ot' another form of seat constructed under mv improved method.

Figure 4 shows the Vfirst step oi" trie method of constructing the :torni oiC seat 3() shown in Figure 3.

Referring now to the drawings, 1 represents one section of the seat, and 2 the other Y section, which in the ordinary construction ot' two piece seats are usually secured together with dowel pins or by screw members entering the two members and operated by a wrench, whereby the two sections are drawn together. This last mentioned means necessitates the cutting away ot the lower faces ot the two members et the point between the sections to receive a wrench, whereby the screws are tightened to draw the two sections together, thus consuming considerable time and labor in screwing up the screws and iilling the openings.

In our improved seat and method of maliing the same, the two sez-tions, at each end, have openings 3 and t, drilled in the abutting faces 5 end (S, directly opposite each other and which are ot a diameter slightly less than the threaded portions 7 and 8 of the connecting member 9. Tie connecting member 9 intermediate the threaded portions i' iand 8 could be lett blank as indicated The ferented p ranged with a right an and each threaced portion for threads which 'form greiteL ce for the securing member, end to the series ot threads, the seme i Y 'forced into the penings and the .es the same to rotate and draw f tions together. lffhile we here four threads it will be under'` two threads must be preferably more.

In assembling the two sections 1 and 2 it will be seen that the right and lett threaded members 7 and 8 are placed with the points 11 and 12 entering' the openings 3 and 4i, one at each end et vthe sections of the seat, and thus the two sections are spaced a considerable distance apart, as shown in Figure of the drawings. Pressure is then applied to the sections 1 and Q, at the points A and B which cause the two sections to move towards each other, and in this movement the connecting member 9, owing to the series oiC threads in the right and left hand threaded portions, is caused to rotate and travel inwardly within the openings 3 and t and tightly draw the two sections together as shown in the Figure 1 of the drawings. In constructing said seat the abutting faces 5 and 6 could be coated with glue or cement, and the pressure being maintained at the points A and B, the two sections would be tightly glued together and held together by members 9.

In the modiiications shown in Figures 3 and i we have made the ser-it in tour pieces instead ot' two. In this form the two sections ot the seat 13 and 14rare mede oil a less width than that shown in, Figures 1 and 2, and a small piece 15 is inserted at the rear or the seat, and a small piece 1G at the t'orward end of the seat. These pieces 15 and 16 have openings 17 bored therethrough and whichare of a diameter' equal to the diameter of the threads of the connecting member 9, this allows oi' the tree rotation ot the threaded member in the small pieces when pressure is applied at the points A and B on the sections 13 and 14. The threaded member 9 will be caused to rotate in the openings 18 and 19, in the sections 13 and 14, the same as .that described in respect to sections 1 and 72,

and drew the two sections 13 and let towards each other, lirmly clamping the two pieces 15 and 16 between the sections 13 and 14, and thus form s seat having a periectly sinooth upper and lower fece, the threaded member holding the sections 15 and 16 against trans-v verse movement.

Having thus fully described our invention what we claim is z-e 1. ji method of making a toilet seat consisting' in placing right and lett hand threaded members having right and lei't hand wood threaded portions between the sections ot the sost end toreing the sections together lsnsin the threaded members to rotate by pressi e only, and enter the sections and hold the seme together.

ri method of making e toilet seat consisting in placing members having right and lett hand wood threaded portions between the sections and 'forcing the sections together, causing the threaded members 'to rotate by pressure only land enter the sections and hold the same together requiring the same forceto separate the sections.

8, A method ot making a toilet seat consisting in )lacing members having right and lett hand wood threaded portions separated by e smooth reduced portion between sections :1nd forcing the sections together, thus caus- Aing the threaded -n-ier-nbers to rotate by prestures.
